The heathland corridor stops at the River Wey, about 1km from Bramshott and Ludshott Commons SSSI within Hampshire. Within the Beacon Hill settlement, the network includes recently established treelines (corridors) linking Local Green Spaces, including Beacon Hill Rec and Woodcock Green. These maps have been produced using data from Surrey Biodiversity Information Centre, Sussex Biodiversity Record Centre, Hampshire Biodiversity Information Centre and Natural England. 3 Haslemere Neighbourhood Plan Map 2 (Northeast Beacon Hill & North Hindhead) A heathland corridor north of Beacon Hill links Heathland SNCIs (Beacon Hill and Marchants Hill SNCI) with Devil’s Punchbowl SSSI. Within Beacon Hill settlement are historic hedgerow corridors across Beacon Hill linking Local Green Space Grovers Garden and just outside the settlement Hindhead Playing Field Green Finger. Hindhead settlement also includes historic hedgerows across built-up areas. The Map includes the River Wey corridor rising in Golden Valley. These maps have been produced using data from Surrey Biodiversity Information Centre, Sussex Biodiversity Record Centre, Hampshire Biodiversity Information Centre and Natural England. 4 Haslemere Neighbourhood Plan Map 3 (West Haslemere) The A3 road-verge corridor links with woodland corridors westwards to Hampshire sites such as Waggoners Wells and eastwards towards Beechnut House Wood SNCI and Woolmer Hill Recreation Ground Green Finger. The woodland and hedgerows between Amesbury School and Woolmer Hill Road represent important bat corridors.1 These maps have been produced using data from Surrey Biodiversity Information Centre, Sussex Biodiversity Record Centre, Hampshire Biodiversity Information Centre and Natural England. 1 pers.comm M Phillis, 2016 5 Haslemere Neighbourhood Plan Map 4 (South Hindhead, Devil’s Punchbowl & North Shottermill) The A3 road-verge corridor is linked with a woodland corridor south to Nutcombe and an important bat corridor from Nutcombe Valley to Shottermill. Historic field-boundary and tree-line links are located within the settlement boundary of Hindhead. Woodland and hedgerow corridors link-up ancient woodland sites south of Devil’s Punchbowl SSSI. Historic hedgerow corridors within Shottermill link to Lion’s Green and St. Christopher’s Green Spaces. A riparian corridor runs from Nutcombe Valley, through Shottermill towards the River Wey. Hedgerow corridors link ancient woodland sites to Bunch Lane Woodland SNCI, important for dormice. The hedgerow corridor between Royal School and Weydown Road is important for bats. A riparian corridor links Clements Corner Green Space with Bunch Lane Woodland SNCI. These maps have been produced using data from Surrey Biodiversity Information Centre, Sussex Biodiversity Record Centre, Hampshire Biodiversity Information Centre and Natural England. 6 Haslemere Neighbourhood Plan Map 5 (Railway and High Lane, Haslemere Settlement) The railway is a major corridor running through the centre of Haslemere Town settlement. The railway corridor is linked via hedgerow and woodland corridors to ancient woodland to the west and Parish Lands SNCI to the east. The railway also links to historic hedgerow links within Haslemere settlement, including a corridor to High Lane Recreation Green Space and represents an important bat and dormouse corridor. These maps have been produced using data from Surrey Biodiversity Information Centre, Sussex Biodiversity Record Centre, Hampshire Biodiversity Information Centre and Natural England. 7 Haslemere Neighbourhood Plan Map 6 (Grayswood and Haslemere North East) An extensive network of hedgerow corridors link to ancient woodland (including Grayswood Common, Imbhams and Frillinghurst Wood SNCIs) outside of the settlement boundaries. These corridors are important for dormice (from Grayswood to Imbhams) and bats (Grayswood to Swan Barn and Swan Barn to Imbhams). These corridors are perhaps the most important in Haslemere for bats, supporting a high number of bat species, including several rare bats and include a riparian corridor between Swan Barn and Imbhams, a headwater to the River Arun. These maps have been produced using data from Surrey Biodiversity Information Centre, Sussex Biodiversity Record Centre, Hampshire Biodiversity Information Centre and Natural England. 8 Haslemere Neighbourhood Plan Map 7 (Haslemere South West) The River Wey corridor stretches along the southern boundary of the Haslemere’s Town Council Boundary, linked with historic corridors into Shottermill settlement (both riparian and hedgerow). The riparian corridor from Hammer to Sturt Road is important for bats. The railway and river corridor run parallel at the south western corner of the Neighbourhood Plan boundary. Several of the riparian corridors on Map 7 are partly culverted and could represent an opportunity, where it is possible to reinstate an open water- course. A woodland corridor links Woolmer Hill Recreation Ground Green Finger with ancient woodland to the south. These maps have been produced using data from Surrey Biodiversity Information Centre, Sussex Biodiversity Record Centre, Hampshire Biodiversity Information Centre and Natural England. 9 Haslemere Neighbourhood Plan Map 8 (South Haslemere) The River Wey corridor stretches along the southern boundary from Sturt Road to Bell Vale Lane, linked to hedgerow and woodland corridors throughout the AONB land adjacent to the southern settlement boundary of Haslemere. This area supports vulnerable dormice corridors on the edge of the Town settlement. An historic hedgerow corridor, at Sun Brow Green Space, within Haslemere Settlement links the Railway to the Sturt Farm hedgerow network. Other historic hedgerow corridors connect Town Meadow and the adjacent Sandrock’s Woodland Green Space to the wider Countryside. These maps have been produced using data from Surrey Biodiversity Information Centre, Sussex Biodiversity Record Centre, Hampshire Biodiversity Information Centre and Natural England. 10 Haslemere Neighbourhood Plan Map 9 (Haslemere South East) Similar to Map 6 this area represents a network of hedgerow corridors linking to a patchwork of ancient woodland (including Home Wood East and Lythe Hill Copse SNCIs) outside of the settlement boundaries. This network of hedgerows also includes important corridors for bats from Blackdown woodland through Lythe Hill to Swan Barn, which are likely to also represent important corridors for Dormice. Haslemere’s south eastern boundary is bordered by the River Wey, its source and the location for a beaver introduction project. These maps have been produced using data from Surrey Biodiversity Information Centre, Sussex Biodiversity Record Centre, Hampshire Biodiversity Information Centre and Natural England. 11 .
